Latest US cuts to emergency food schemes 'a death sentence' for millions, UN warns
GENEVA — The World Food Programme said that the Trump administration had axed funding for life-saving schemes in 14 impoverished countries — despite previously pledging to spare vital aid.The World Food Programme (WFP) has warned that the Trump administration’s fresh cuts to emergency food schemes will amount to “a death sentence” for millions of starving people.The UN organization, which is the world’s largest provider of food relief, pleaded with the US to reverse its decision to end funding for life-saving schemes in impoverished and war-torn countries, after it appeared to go back on a previous pledge to spare emergency food aid.The WFP said it was “deeply concerned” after the US administration notified it that it had ended funding for emergency food assistance in 14...

US top court allows Trump to use wartime law for deportations
WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Donald Trump to use a rarely-invoked wartime powers law to rapidly deport alleged gang members - for now.A lower court had temporarily blocked the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador on 15 March, ruling that the actions under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act needed further scrutiny.Trump has alleged that the migrants were members of the Tren de Aragua gang "conducting irregular warfare" against the US and could therefore be removed under the Act.While the administration is claiming the ruling as a win, the justices mandated that deportees must be given a chance to challenge their removal."The notice must be afforded within a reasonable time and in such a manner as will allow them to...

Trump threatens new 50% tariffs on China
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has threatened China with an extra 50% tariff on goods imported into the US if it does not withdraw its 34% counter-tariff, as global markets continue to fall.Beijing retaliated on Sunday, following last week's decision by Trump to slap a 34% tax on Chinese imports as part of his "Liberation Day" that set a minimum 10% levy on nearly all of America's trading partners.In a social media post on Monday, Trump gave China until Tuesday to scrap its countermeasure or face the 50% tax.In response, the Chinese embassy in the US accused Washington of "economic bullying", and said that Beijing "will firmly safeguard its legitimate rights and interests".If Trump acts on his threat, US companies could face a total rate of 104% on...

Supreme Court pauses midnight deadline to return man mistakenly deported to El Salvador
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Monday temporarily paused a court-imposed midnight deadline to return to the US a Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, agreeing to a request from President Donald Trump that will give the justices more time to consider the case.Chief Justice John Roberts granted the “administrative stay,” a move that will extend the deadline until the court hands down a more fulsome decision in the case of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, who was deported on March 15.The decision to temporarily pause the case, which is relatively common when the court is facing a quick deadline, means that Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, will remain at a notorious prison in El Salvador for now. A lower court judge had given the administration until midnight to...

Death toll rises from weekend storms in US
WASHINGTON — At least 22 people have died from flash flooding and tornado damage that swept across multiple states in the Midwestern and southern parts of the US over the weekend, officials have said.Nearly half of the reported deaths, which included children and elderly people, were in Tennessee, and three were in Missouri. Three people died in Kentucky while Indiana, Mississippi, Georgia and Arkansas have also reported deaths from the storm.The fierce weather has caused rivers to swell and the National Weather Service warned that dozens of locations would reach "major flood stage" even as the rain slows down.As many as nine million Americans were under a flood watch on Monday, US media reported.In Kentucky, a nine-year-old boy was swept away by floodwaters while walking to...

US judge scolds Trump officials for failing to return man deported in error
WASHINGTON — A US judge has issued a scathing opinion against the Trump administration after immigration officials admitted to having mistakenly deported a man living in the US to a prison in El Salvador.The opinion issued by US District Judge Paula Xinis on Sunday reaffirms her earlier ruling that demands Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned to the US by Monday night.The judge says Garcia was seized "without any lawful authority" and held "without legal basis", in "direct contravention" of US law. She calls his situation a "grievous error" that "shocks the conscience".Trump officials argue that they are unable to return him because they lack the authority to remove him from jail in El Salvador.The Justice Department has asked an appeals...

Pro-Palestinian supporters continue to demonstrate with a protest encampment on the campus of Columbia University on April 29, 2024 in New York City
Trump’s crackdown on university protests is casting a long shadow
NEW YORK — At Columbia University, which has long borne witness to protests and dissent, the atmosphere has shifted under a new regime of policy changes ostensibly aimed at heightening security, according to CNN interviews with more than a dozen students and faculty.Students who spoke with CNN – most of whom requested to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals – described a tense mood on campus as the changes take hold.The atmosphere is far from what Maria, a master’s student at Columbia whose name has been changed to protect her identity, imagined when she enrolled last spring.“I put my money down for Columbia thinking that I would be going to a prestigious university known as a protest university, home of some of the largest human rights student movements in the country. But...

Defiant Trump vows to stay course as countries scramble over tariffs
LONDON — US President Donald Trump has defended sweeping tariffs on imports that sent shockwaves through global stock markets, saying "sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something".Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One late on Sunday, he said jobs and investment would return to the US to make it "wealthy like never before".Trump's top officials stressed that the tariffs - announced last week - would be implemented as planned, playing down recession fears.Just hours after Trump's comments, stock markets plunged in Asia early on Monday, with Japan's Nikkei 225 dropping by 6.3%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng losing 9.8%.On Friday, all three major stock indexes in the US fell more than 5%, while the S&P 500 dropped almost 6% in the worst week for...

China retaliates against Trump's trade war with 34% reciprocal tariffs on US goods
HONG KONG — China said on Friday it will impose reciprocal 34% tariffs on all imports from the United States from April 10, making good on a promise to strike back after US President Donald Trump escalated a global trade war.On Wednesday, Trump unveiled an additional 34% tariffs on all Chinese goods imported into the US, in a move poised to cause a major reset of relations and worsen trade tension between the world’s two largest economies.“This practice of the US is not in line with international trade rules, seriously undermines China’s legitimate rights and interests, and is a typical unilateral bullying practice,” China’s State Council Tariff Commission said in a statement announcing its retaliatory tariffs.Since returning to power in January, Trump had already levied two...
